Buc Central’s: Final Mock

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers addressed the offense in free agency and there is a sense of urgency to get the defense back to a respectable level after the late season collapse, look for new defensive coordinator Jim Bates to have a heavy influence on the draft. The team is looking to add a pass rusher, size in the interior of the defensive line, a corner with good ball skills along with another receiver to compete and give who ever becomes the starter under center another reliable redzone target. Don’t rule out a running back in the mold of Earnest Graham and Derrick Ward as the team can’t afford to go into next season only being two deep at the position.

1. Everette Brown DE Florida State – Rare initial quickness, shows plenty of pass rush moves..dips his shoulder to under cut tackles, takes a good arc to the quarterback. uses not only speed but has a decent hump, rip & swim move to counter, 23 sacks & 46.5 tackles for loss, has a nak for creating turnovers 5 forced fumbles, 5 pass breakups.

7. Josh Vaughn RB Richmond – Good cutback runner, decent balance, willing blocker, good vision, as a senior rushed for 1,884 yards on 334 carries for a 5.6 yard per carry average and 20 touchdowns.
